Mark Turgeon’s arrival as Maryland’s basketball coach could affect Virginia and Virginia Tech as they pursue two prospects at DeMatha High, the renowned program located not much farther than a 3-pointer from the College Park campus.

Forward Jerami Grant and point guard James Robinson are among the nation’s most acclaimed rising seniors, and DeMatha coach Mike Jones told the Washington Post’s Josh Barr that Turgeon was pursuing both for Texas A&M. Turgeon guided the Aggies to four NCAA tournaments in as many seasons before accepting the Maryland job Monday.

Among Turgeon’s signees at Texas A&M was DeMatha wing Naji Hibbert. As a sophomore last season, he was the Aggies’ sixth man.

A former Kansas point guard, the 46-year-old Turgeon has never coached in the Mid-Atlantic, but his associate head coach at A&M, Scott Spinelli, held the same position at American University in Washington, D.C., from 1997-99.

Virginia, Maryland, Notre Dame and Georgetown are among the 11 programs to have offered Robinson a grant-in-aid, according to Rivals.com.

Virginia Tech, Virginia, Georgetown, Clemson and Notre Dame are among the 10 to have offered Grant, according to Rivals.

Grant is the son of Hampton University assistant coach Harvey Grant, who played one season at Clemson before transferring to Oklahoma, where he became a first-round NBA draft pick. Jerami’s brother, Jerai, just completed his college career at Clemson.

Harvey Grant told me last month at Boo Williams’ tournament in Hampton that Jerami is likely to select a school this summer. Jerami is playing this spring and summer for Washington-based Team Takeover, among the AAU circuit’s top squads.

If Turgeon wants to add local flavor to his Maryland staff, and enhance the Terps’ profile at DeMatha, might he hire Harvey Grant, whose best NBA seasons, 1991-93, were spent in Washington?
